Judy Allen takes charge of a meeting of the Student Federation Delegation at which an important topic is being discussed. Victoria Kalil Judy Allen President 34 Delegation Acts as Liason For Students and Council The Student Federation Delegation acts as a go-between for the student body and the Stu- dent Council. Not only do the students find out what the Council is doing but the Delega- tion gives the students a chance to give their opinions about school issues. The Federation Delegation is particularly important to the council in aiding with projects which concern the entire student body. If the council does not know how the student body will react to an issue, it will present the issue to the Dele- gation to find out the opinion of the student body. Although the Delegation does not origi- nate any projects of its own, it helps the Coun- cil with any of its problems that may need attention. The Student Federation vice-president, Judy Allen, was chairman of the organization. Dar- lene Hanson served as the secretary. Each homeroom elected one representative. Because of this wide representation of the student body, it did act as a good sounding board of school issues. Meetings were held bi-monthly in the cafeteria during homeroom. However, extra meetings were called when necessary. Zi L1 Www fl! 252 f L .v ,..

There are many offenses some of which are not having a hall pass or causing a commotion in the halls. This year the cafeteria moni- tors, appointed by Student Council, worked closely with the Court. These monitors were in charge of referring stu- dents to the Court for offenses committed during the lunch hours. The most com- mon offenses were those such as leaving trash, using the wrong doors, and cutting into the lunch line. Adviser After a student is summoned to court, he is tried and sentenced. The severity of the offense and the attitude of the de- fendant both have an effect on the seri- ousness of the sentence. A member of Student Court for four years, Darlene James was elected chief justice by the other members. The jus- tices for this year were J arel Hambenne and Betty Jean Pratt, seniors, Beth Hop- kins and Dick Badger, juniors, Barbie Whitaker and Larry Dent, sophomores, and Barbara Ewing and Bonie Underhill, freshmen. Tain Balfour served as recorder and Bob Jacobs as bailiff. They were elected by the Court and approved by Student Council. Kenneth Jaeger was the adviser.
